The biggest issues in the world today are global warming and the bioweapon that the US government released in 2019.

Like literally nothing else even vaguely matters in comparison to these issues, which will indirectly kill millions or even billions (including westoids when China's/India's climate gets bad enough, because 1,000 nukes don't give a damn)

The climate is the top priority, but COVID comes immediately after. So many people, even people who "haven't had COVID" (lul) have weird symptoms popping up since 2022, and there's a guy here on hexbear whose friend's dad died around December 2023 after contracting it for the first time

    Listening to a podcast recorded "post-pandemic"

    "Yeah it's been hard to get together, first X was sick, then Y, it's been a bad flu season"

    Me: monke-rage

    I agree (well, except the US bioweapon part), the government and broader societal response to climate change will mirror the response to COVID, just in slow motion. It's been a fun while trying to figure out if I'm suffering from depression or just being understandably negative (seems to be the latter, thankfully).

      Not at all mutually exclusive.
